Hi
Currently we are using 17.8 licensed version of Aspose Slides Java. How to acheive below functionality using aspose slides

In microsoft powerpoint 10 we achieve it by following below steps :
Click Format tab -> Select Align -> Distribute vertically / Distribute horizontally

This we want for aligning the multiple shapes in one line.

@akshayaspose,

In Aspose.Slides for Java 20.5, we have introduced the support where by you can now align the shapes inside vertically or horizontally as per your requirements. In the following example, I have demonstrated the use of the feature. All you need to do is to select the desired shapes on slide and can align them from top, bottom , left and right.

Presentation pres = new Presentation("example.pptx");
try {
    ISlide slide = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);
    IShape shape1 = slide.getShapes().get_Item(1);
    IShape shape2 = slide.getShapes().get_Item(2);
    IShape shape3 = slide.getShapes().get_Item(4);
    SlideUtil.alignShapes(ShapesAlignmentType.AlignTop, true, pres.getSlides().get_Item(0), new int[]
            {
                    slide.getShapes().indexOf(shape1),
                    slide.getShapes().indexOf(shape2),
                    slide.getShapes().indexOf(shape3)
            });
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}
